CityCenter revolves around Aria, a thoroughly contemporary casino resort with a deluxe, design-savvy casino surrounded by tempting restaurants. Key pieces of CityCenter's priceless art collection are also found here. Look for poet-sculptor Tony Cragg's stainless-steel column sculptures near the tram boarding area and Jenny Holzer's 'truisms' scrolling across large LED panels near the north valet stand.
Delve even deeper inside Aria to find its Japanese-inspired spa , Cirque du Soleil's imaginative show Zarkana and CityCenter's only nightclub, Haze , where reality-TV stars like Pauly D might pop in.
At the chic but casual Julian Serrano tapas restaurant, located just off the hotel lobby, you can quaff sangria and share small plates of stuffed olives while watching the comings and goings of big-shot gamblers. Chicago chef Shawn McClain's Sage specializes in sustainable farm-to-table cuisine, while his Five50 pizzeria is equally applauded.
